Give Mom a fabulous and healthy fragrance for Mother’s Day

Frag_VanBlackberry_50ml_1024x1024

I love all things Vanilla. I just adore the scent and it is one of the few scents my husband doesn’t mind smelling.  That is one of the main reasons I gravitate toward Vanilla. I also love the brand Lavanila. They offer a vast array of healthy skincare and perfumes and each fragrance is infused with the fragrance of Vanilla. I have tried many fragrances from the Lavanila line and Vanilla Blackberry has gone to the top of my list of favorites. Perfumes from Lavanila will also make the perfect Mother’s Day gift.

Imagine the delicate sweet aroma of ripe blackberry, juicy raspberry, velvet iris, and warm Madagascar vanilla. Most likely you can’t imagine it so you will have to try it for yourself. You wont’ be disappointed if you like fruity, florally fragrances and with, of course, a touch of vanilla.

You won’t be able to resist some of their intoxicating scents like Vanilla Lavender, Vanilla Summer, and Vanilla Passionfruit to name a few.

Lavanila fragrances are crafted by natural perfumers and are all-natural fragrances. Lavanila fragrances offer you the world’s first healthy fragrance, and as stated by Lavanila, “organic sugar cane alcohol is infused with skin saving antioxidants for a modern twist on the classic art of perfumery.”  Lavanila fragrances contain no phthalates, propylene glycol or aldyhydes. Lavanila prides itself on its formulas containing no harsh chemicals that can damage and irritate the skin and senses. They use only  organic sugar cane alcohol with exotic essential oils and botanicals for 100% healthy fragrances.

Try Lavanila fragrances in a rollerball (shown below), they are available in 8 fragrances. I have 3 of them and I love each one.

Remember Lavanila this Mother’s Day. Lavanila is all things VANILLA!!!!

10 Things you need to know about Laser Hair Removal

unnamed-2

From the Pros at Spruce & Bond:

Spruce & Bond specialist, Keiann Roberts breaks it down so you know what to expect beforehand:

1. You need to shave before your appointment so the technician can place the laser directly on the root of the hair.
2. At Spruce & Bond our lasers have a setting that adjusts to not only your skin type, but your hair type as well. The laser fires a concentrated beam of light that’s directed at the pigment in your hair follicles. This kills the follicle at its root, preventing them from growing back.
3. Avoid waxing up to 4 weeks before your appointment. The laser targets the pigment of your hair follicle, and the follicle actually has to be there in order for this to work.
4. It takes at least 5-6 sessions to achieve perfection.
5. Stay consistent with your appointments. Space them out every 4-6 weeks so you hair has enough time to cycle as your hair follicles are on their own growth cycle.
6. Some hair and skin types might be a little harder to treat but it’s still possible. Dark hair follicles are usually easy to treat because, again, the laser targets the hair’s pigment. This is also why gray, white, blonde, and red pigments can be tricky. Spruce & Bond uses a Gentlelase Laser which is color blind, meaning that it has the ability to target any color hair on any skin tone.

7. Avoid direct sunlight on that area and always use a moisturizer with SPF to prevent additional redness.
8. During your treatment, the sensation will feel like a rubber band snapping against your skin. Each session is about 20-30 minutes depending on what you are getting done.
9. During the next day or two after, it’s normal for your skin to appear a little red. Avoid excessive heat and apply Aloe Vera to relive redness.
10. The permanent results from your laser hair removal are something you will never forget!
